The popularity of foreign talent in Hollywood movies and TV series has sparked a shakeup at U.S. agencies, incentivizing them to team up with their counterparts across the globe. Most non-American stars now have two or three agents worldwide who work together on everything from reading scripts to negotiating contracts. And most important, they are willing to split commissions.

“The world of acting has gotten much smaller,” says UTA’s Theresa Peters. “When a film gets made, whatever the language, casting agents are able to cast the net wider” because of Skype and

Can we say that Daniel Craig incarnation of James Bond rivals Sean Connery’s at this point, or is that still considered blasphemy? Given that Skyfall (2012) is, at least until the release of Spectre, the most complete and entertaining Bond film ever produced, I wonder if we can’t mention the two actors in the same sentence without feeling the least bit guilty.

The new trailer for Spectre does very little to dissuade my enthusiasm for Craig and his Bond films (although Quantum of Solace (2008) was quite the follow-up to Casino Royale (2006) I was hoping for). The new film looks to continue the dark and menacing nature of these films, and I’m all for it; it’s a tone that works for Bond. Here’s hoping that the final film delivers the good that this trailer promises.

The ever-gorgeous Monica Bellucci--the Italians must have something in their water, as Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale still look fab, decades after their prime--marks the first woman aged 50 to play a Bond girl. We should call her a Bond Woman, she told the Sunday Times Style magazine. She first thought that director Sam Mendes wanted to cast her as M in Bond 24, "Spectre," replacing 80-year-old Dame Judi Dench.

Judging from the explosive new "Spectre" trailer, the film not only continues the two-part "Skyfall" journey into James Bond's upbringing but also links the Daniel Craig era by proclaiming that Christoph Waltz's Franz Oberhauser represents a Machiavellian puppetmaster: "It's me, James, the author of all your pain," he sneers (wearing, incidentally, the signature Nehru jacket associated with Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the '60s). So isn't the cat pretty much out of the bag?
No doubt, the trailer does a great job of touting what we expect from Bond as a whole and from Craig in particular: Thrilling action pieces (in cars, planes and trains); globe-trotting glam in Mexico City, Austria, Rome and Morocco; two gorgeous women (Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, the widow of an assassin killed by Bond, and love interest Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, a psychologist who can lead him to Oberhauser); a deadly henchman (Dave Bautista as Mr.

Exotic locations, luxurious cars, slick gadgets, evil villains and 007 are featured in this brand new trailer for Sam Mendes’ Spectre.

Cue the James Bond theme and keep an eye out for awesome helicopter stunt.

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal.

Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as Spectre.

The first full trailer for 'Spectre' sees Christoph Waltz introduce himself as ''the author'' of James Bond's ''pain''. The much-hyped teaser - the second to have been released since the movie's launch in December - shows the Oscar-winning star emerge as Bond's nemesis and the iconic secret agent, played by Daniel Craig, involved in a steamy love scene with Italian actress Monica Bellucci. The fast-paced clip also includes a dramatic action scene with Léa Seydoux, while British stars Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw reprise their roles as the rebooted Moneypenny and Q respectively. What's more, the trailer features brief appearances from Andrew Scott as Max Denbigh, the new head of the Centre for National Security, Ralph Fiennes as M and Dave Bautista, who's been cast in the role of Mr. Hinx. Earlier this month, 'Spectre' director Sam Mendes revealed he has no plans to helm another movie in the Bond franchise,

With filming wrapped and the movie only a few months away, Sony has released an all new full length trailer for the next James Bond film, Spectre...and things are hitting a little closer to home for the super spy. Come inside to check it out.

I want you to watch this trailer, and Try to not get excited for this movie. Seriously, I dare you. Where the first trailer was more about setting up the tone and story, this new one steps up the action in the only way a James Bond movie can, while still delivering on the story beats:

See what I mean? This is just an all around great trailer and teases some interesting things. Bond doesn't seem to be following orders this time around, and rather than being on an official mission, he's doing this one all for himself. He's set up a secret base,

One should never count out James Bond, as the new Spectre trailer proves.
"They say you're finished," Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) says.
"What do you?" 007 (Daniel Craig) asks.
"I say you're just getting started," the former agent replies.
Indeed he is. A cryptic message from the past sends Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and later Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the widow of an infamous criminal. There, he infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as Spectre.

Daniel Craig will make his 007 comeback later this year with the release of Spectre, a continuation of the story started in Sam Mendes's Skyfall. Craig has re-energised the Bond franchise since his debut in 2006's Casino Royale, and all signs point towards Spectre being another worthy addition to the series.

Digital Spy runs down everything you need to know about Spectre ahead of its cinema debut on October 23.

The new trailer is pretty spectacular

A helicopter doing a midair cork-screw, a tip of the hat to the On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme... and was that Blofeld? The latest trailer for Spectre is something of a corker and promises to be an homage-packed action-fest aiming to top Skyfall. Consider us excited.

The James Bond franchise has been one of the longest-running in cinema history, going through numerous decades and lead performers to become a recognisable touchstone in the film landscape. The latest actor to take on the titular role has been Daniel Craig, who is poised to return for his fourth go-round in the upcoming entry into the series. Titled Spectre, the film will be the 24th Bond feature, and will see Sam Mendes once again step into the director’s chair, reprising the job he had in 2012’s Skyfall. The film’s synopsis is as follows.

A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Spectre.

The first full trailer for Spectre has arrived online and it's packed with plenty of style, intrigue, explosions and make-out sessions. It is a James Bond movie, after all.
Check it out below.
Taking a page out of Skyfall's handbook, Spectre looks to dig even deeper into James Bond's past by tying him directly to the shadowy organization he's looking to take down, lead by Christoph Waltz, who comes off rather calm and smooth in this trailer even though we know there's an underlying evil there that will probably present itself in some pretty devilish ways.
Oh, and how about that helicopter moment? Pretty cool, eh? But does it top Bond making out with Monica Bellucci? That's for you to decide.
Spectre hits the UK on October 26 and Us theaters...
